Cascaad :: A Step Forward in Social Media Filters

Caught this Scoble video flying by on FriendFeed.
I’ve only had a few moments to play with this app, but I can already tell it’s absolutely tremendous. It has a beautiful UI and gives an entirely new, more comprehensive experience to tweets. It is the first time I’ve actually seen an intuitive information architecture, the type [...]

The Perfect Story

Great stories aren’t great because of their telling. They’re great because of what they don’t tell. Or wait to tell later.
Such stories have a focal point based on principles. The principles are displayed in the values and message of a story. When you stick to your principles, there’s no need to go into a lot [...]

The Missing Google Wave Manuals

I’ve been a bit harsh on the way Google Wave was launched, but I stand by the comments.
What was missing? A PG version of these videos by Whirled Interactive. They feature a the Wave animal-beast roaming free in the wild and a goofy transcription of some epic movie scenes.
These videos are NOT SAFE FOR WORK [...]

Evian :: Live Young

This video is many things. A bit freaky. Funny. Definitely interesting with the treatment and concept they used. Most of all, it executes on Evian’s ‘Live Young’ tagline (featured at the end of the clip) in an almost perfect way.
How a consumer responds to the weird dancing baby thing will differ from person to person. [...]

Loic Le Meur and Seth Godin

Loic Le Meur is an entrepreneur who now runs Seesmic, the video-commenting-turned-social-media-interface-app. He’s just one of those guys who sometimes seems to be everywhere. I suspect he’s been cloned.
Here he is interviewing Seth Godin. I thought this was a really interesting talk. Great, lively questions and animated, insightful answers. The discussion includes talk of tribes, [...]

Choose a Different Ending

d and I were just talking about choose-your-own-adventures the other day — how to create them online in a web or video story format. So I laughed when I came across this video on Creativity today.

New ‘Going Google’ Campaign

It’s funny to me when I hear Bing ads on the radio. Sort of anachronistic, no?
Adding to the traditional media battle of the interweb juggernauts, Google is fighting for more of the Microsoft Office crowd. With billboards.
Billboards? Yes, billboards.
The (lasting) power of the campaign may ultimately derive from videos they will surely make of the [...]
